Wow, several ones I need in that assortment:
The 7th Voyage of Sinbad: 50th Anniversary Edition
The Picture of Dorian Gray
and the sci-fi double feature that includes When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth. Gotta start saving my pennies!

  Haven't seen "Moon Zero Two" in years, if I remember, it was kinda a decent movie. Backed with the wicked "When Dinosaurs Ruled The Earth", I just might have to grab that Double Feature myself.  Sorry to see the release of "Trial of a TimeLord" when there are still so many truly great Dr.Who stories to be released, Collin Baker ( Doctor #6 ) was the only portrayal of the Doctor that I truly disliked.

I pre-ordered Interview with the Vampire (Blu-ray). Hopefully, it comes in next week.

I may eventually get The Picture of Dorian Gray. I have never seen it though.

I may eventually get The Picture of Dorian Gray. I have never seen it though.

I highly recommend this film.   While technically not a horror/monster movie per se, it does have a supernatural element to it.  You'll love the painting itself.  It's in an art museum in Chicago.  I plan on stealing ti someday.  I always wished they had done a poster of it.  Look for a young Angela Lansbury.

When you get it, you will be in for a treat! This movie is a real classic and stands up well today..the commentary available on the DVD is great and the original trailer is also to be found on it. Check it out..

I am looking forward to seeing The Picture of Dorian Gray for the first time.

I have read the book. It was a little long, and there were probably too many characters, but overall I enjoyed it.
